Catalonia, Spain

In Catalonia, Spain, Christians decorate their homes with a Nativity scene much like people in North America do but with one notable exception. They include a Caganer which is a small figurine of a man defecating on the ground. Explanations for this tradition range from that the Caganer symbolizes fertilization and rebirth to that it’s just funny. And you thought myrrh was a crappy gift for the baby Jesus.
